Iazyk veshchei - Sudzhich D.

Cast-iron utensils, kitchen appliances, modern art, antique furniture, cheap jeans, expensive shoes and, of course, the new iPhone - we are a continuous choice and seem to know exactly what we need. However, this choice - of course, made with impeccable taste and highly individual - is predetermined by the design of the purchase itself, by the implicit message it informs us about itself and the world about its owner: things are talking to us, and we talking to each other -- and with ourselves -- through things. A short vocabulary of this universal language - in a new book by the director of the London Design Museum Dejan Sujic.
